This "product" had no instructions on how to access the data sheets, so perhaps I am just too dumb to use it. It came with a text file and a folder of data sheets and imagines. The data sheets were text also, and all the text files contained were links [...]

A very simple tool, but it's where its beauty lies. With its combination of low price and ease of use, I think it is perfect for beginner GMs who may not yet want to invest in expensive complex tools but who do not want to rely on someone else's maps [...]

Really? These little scripts are considered a product? If you found these on a website, you probably wouldn't bookmark it. What you have a grids, with a bunch of connecting rudimentary tiles, some with bends, someone with 'chambers', some with interse [...]

An interesting product, but of little real worth. Yes, you can plug together some tile sets to create maps, but you cannot save them, or print them, except along with the rest of the html page. Oh, well. At least it was cheap. [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
